Go behind the scenes at Merriman's Restaurant, one of the innovators of Hawaii regional cuisine. On this unique culinary guided tour you will visit two farms in the South Kohala district of the Big Island. This small group epicurean adventure culminates with a dinner featuring fresh ingredients from the farms visited earlier in the day.
First you will visit Honopua Farm, where owners Ken and Roen Hufford offer a personal tour and samplings from the farm. This family-run farm is renowned for its organic vegetables, lavender, and cut flowers. Continue to Kahua Ranch at the 3,000-foot elevation in the Kohala Mountains, on the same lands where, many years earlier King Kamehameha trained his warriors to conquer the island chain. Today these historic Kohala grasslands, are home to one of the most respected range-fed sheep and cattle ranches in Hawaii. This is a beautiful spot with breath-taking coastal views.
Return to award-winning Merriman's Restaurant in Waimea for a special four-course dinner prepared by world-class chefs highlighting the products and produce from the farms visited. The knowledgeable and professional servers will offer insight into the creative interpretation for the evening's menu and assist with choosing wines from Merriman's award-winning cellar. A culinary learning adventure for all the senses.
